ageing man said...: and a good gear change it is too... music can be timeless, but I do wonder when we hit the generation who say.... Janis who ?; 25 January 2014 at 17:57
Mark Wadsworth said...: AM, most gear changes are awful, but that time they get away with it for some reason.; 25 January 2014 at 18:01
ageing man said...: Sometimes it works that way.... I am a big fab of the Blue Nile, and some of their best songs turn on a gear change... Maybe that's how we come to liking certain songs, they start one way, and take us on an unexpected path... and to be fair, Janis could get a way with alot...you only have to look at her porsche for that !; 25 January 2014 at 18:14
